I'd prefer Draw or Impress for that, but everybody is using his/her
preferred tool ;-)

Should that be search forms or a button/link that trigger a search and
give back the result in the list field on the site? I figure out the latter.

Hmm. A bugtracker on the site or the upcomming LibreOffice bugtracker?

Right. But without a structure the site will be a mess soon.

But it would be a value for users to know which version(s) of
LibreOffice the extension is working with. Thus I prefer to make that
mandatory. This would make it possible to search for extensions that run
with a specific version of LibreOffice. On the other hand it put a
burden on the author, because he had to add new versions of LibreOffice
later.

If the site uses an own content type for the file upload you could ad as
many files as you like. But if the contributor choose the files on the
release page itself there had to be a field for each file. Otherwise the
former file would be dropped once the contributor choose a new one.
